Shalom Auslander, who created the Showtime series in which Philip Seymour Hoffman was to star, remembered the actor Monday as having “the biggest, brokenest heart of anyone I have ever met.”

Hoffman was the lead in Auslander’s “Happyish,” about a frazzled advertising executive who struggles with how much selling out is too much selling out. The series had shot only a pilot before Hoffman died Sunday of an apparent heroin overdose. He was 46.
